Artificial Intelligence (AI) Cytopathology Trial
What this study is about
Purpose The primary objective of the study is to compare interpretation of EUS FNA/FNB samples for adequacy between ROSE and AI at bedside. To compare accuracy of preliminary diagnosis results between ROSE and AI at bedside versus final pathology report.

Purpose The primary objective of the study is to compare interpretation of EUS FNA/FNB samples for adequacy between ROSE and AI at bedside. To compare accuracy of preliminary diagnosis results between ROSE and AI at bedside versus final pathology report. Research design This is a prospective single center study to compare performance characteristics in the interpretation of EUS FNA/FNB samples between AI and ROSE. Procedures to be used Eligible patients will undergo EUS guided FNA/FNA of PSLs using standard of care. Sample slides are prepared by a cytopathologist at bedside and observed under a microscope. At the same time, the slides are scanned using a slide scanner and those images are saved for interpretation by AI at a later time.
Interventions
OTHER
Artificial Intelligence software ROSE
Rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE) of Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) guided FNA/FNB (Fine Needle Aspirate/Fine Needle Biopsy) of pancreatic solid lesions (PSLs) has been shown in improve diagnostic yield. The availability and performance of ROSE at EUS performing centers is variable. With strides in Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities over the years, the University of Texas at Health Sciences Center at Houston in collaboration with Haystac is developing an artificial intelligence based proprietary system to analyze slides from EUS FNA/FNB samples at bedside.
Primary outcome measures
Detection the adequacy for diagnosis
Time frame: During procedure
The primary outcome of the study is to determine how AI compares with ROSE in determining if EUS FNA/FNB sample from PSLs is adequate for diagnosis. This will be interpreted as a percentage in each group. The main study parameter is on-site determination if an EUS FNA/FNB sample is adequate for interpretation and diagnosis

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
